The result of the Democratic Party's primaries was decided. The 41% support rate gave Joseph Kennedy an commanding victory.
In flowers and applauses, Kennedy walked to the stage and waved to his supporters. Then, he shouted in his compelling and convincing voice.
"We are standing at the crossroad of history. On our left is an abyss and on our right is a cliff. There is only one path we can take, which is straight forward, forward, and forward! The future of our family, our country, our entire humanity is there."
In the cheers, he continued to shout loudly.
"Thank you for your vote. You have chosen me and I will stand with you."
"All errors will be corrected!"
"Thank you..."
The members of the Democratic Party stood on the side of the podium and also applauded.
Regardless of win or loss, whether regretful or not, they stood there with grace.
Even Hill and Kerry, who were defeated in the primaries, gave their applause.
